  1. yes, but.. on IT and Divorce? · · Score: 5, Funny

    His job smacked his wife around. Now seriously, who's gonna stay in a relationship like that? I mean come on...

    His job was also very lazy, never did anything around the house. And it would never listen! If you're going to be in a relationship with a man, women, and a job, everyone needs respect each other and their personal space. But job just didn't know when to back off either... it would keep pressing and pressing... jesus, I'm in the bathroom. Just leave me alone!

    If he had to explain it to her many times then I guess it's not "no nosense" now is it?

    Even in the article he said ,"I went even further and speculated that the child would almost certainly have to have prior contact with a person about where to meet in order to make this possible."

    My thinking is that she heard "possible" and ran with it, but I don't know that, and you don't know that. Only she does.

    It's possible she just didn't understand how the unit worked (yeah, she shouldn't have went ahead with the story), but I'm not so sure her mistake was intentional. I'd like to hear her side of the story.

    My guess would be that she had conflicting information and went ahead with what the parents had told her.

    This is a capitalist model, where the owners of something get to decide with whom they share it and under what terms.

    ahhh, so who gets to decide on the owners? Your typical socialist U.N. bureaucrat or the dollar? If the bureaucrats want to dish out IP addresses based on population, let them buy the addresses first. Then they can do what ever they want. But don't take away my company's opportunity to pay a higher price for those addresses.

    ohh and btw, you missed my point entirely.

    You're placing obstacles in front of people just so you can satisfy your socialist model of IP address distribution.

    The point is, people should not be forced to use NAT because you want to be the nice guy and give China 1.3 billion addresses. It should be first come, first serve, pay as you go. If my company wants to spend a few thousand bucks on a Class C (instead of a $20 router), they should be allowed to do so. They shouldn't be forced to use workarounds just because a Marxists Internet administrator says so. Instead, the market should decide.

  13. Re:This makes sense...for now on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    There are some four billion possible IP numbers. Of these, some 2.4 billion have been allocated. Of those, some 1.3 billion are allocated to organisations in the United States. The EU has a little less than twice the population of the United States. India and China each have over four times the population of the United States.

    You make it sounds like this is a bad thing. This is a good thing.

    An alternative history would be something like 30 years ago, before the internet boom, the creators of the internet sitting around a table discussing the distribution of IP addresses.

    "You know, we've got 4 billion IP addresses. How about we divide it up based on the population of each country. Each person can have their own IP address, and we can all hold hands together."

    uhhh, no thanks. I'd prefer to let the market decide and not some round table of socialists.

  18. Mythbusters on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 2, Informative

    Today's cars use more gas at highway speeds if only one window is down compared to the air conditioning.

    Yeap, Mythbusters did prove this theory wrong. 2 SUV's were loaded up with 5 Gallons of gas and driven around the track. One had the AC on and windows rolled up, the other had the AC off and windows rolled down. If I'm not mistaken, The first test was inconclusive. However, the next test I believe proved this theory wrong. They decided to fully gas up the SUV's instead of trying to accurately measure and fill up only 5 Gallons. The test showed (and I'm not sure on these numbers) somewhere around a 5% to 10% loss of MPG on the AC SUV. While the AC SUV had to pull over, the windowed SUV kept on trucking!! So yeah, they busted that myth.

    everything falls to the bottom of the bag. I've got cd cases, 2 power bricks, a portable harddrive, cables, mouse, etc, and everything gravitates toward the bottom of bag (and this is a "laptop bag" mind you). A better design would be to have a lot of little pockets, preferable located somewhere other than the bottom of the bag.

    But best of all, it's ugly as hell. It looks like a cheap $10 Walmart bag. Just make sure get extra padding on the inside(for the laptop) AND extra padding on the outside(for your back). If you're unfortunate enough to have one of those heavy ass 10 pounder with a 17" screen, then you'll need the extra padding.

    If it's not already waterproof, you can buy that stuff in a spray can at most shoe stores.
